Three Important Words.....

Tue Jun 05, 2012 12:16 pm

There are three important words that appear in almost every post defending the colour change, and they are 'DO NOT CARE'..... Well I am sorry, but I DO CARE, and will never accept the colour change as I do have a fierce passion for my club and it's history....

I think the vast majority do care a great deal about the club and its history - they just don't care that much about a change of colour, in my view.

I agree Bagg! The way this has been stamrollered has really left a bitter taste.

You can't chop and change your identity for the sake of the offer of a few quid and for the sake of unsubstantiated threats of Liquidation!

We are who we are...we can't be anything else!

Stand firm brother! :ayatollah:

Why do people like you keep going on about a change in colour of our shirt and the history of the club. The history of the club is about an FA Cup win, FA Cup Finals, League Cup Final, (Old) Div 1 runners up, ECWC semi finalists etc etc and not the colour of the shirt. We wore black when we lost to Portsmouth in the FA Cup Final. If we had won that day playing in black it would still have been one of the greatest days in our history. If you want to say that our history must remain connected with the colour of our shirts then we would still be wearing the Riverside colours and would never have worn a blue home shirt.

Also, on the biggest day in our history, we wore a dragon as the centrepiece of our badge :ayatollah:

And why do people like you conveniently keep forgetting to mention the change of badge and nickname as well.... which ARE a big part of our history.... and before you start with the same old rubbish about 'we have changed our badge before', as far back as I can remember it had a Bluebird on it and that was our identity and who we were known across the land as...

And tell me, do you work for the Malaysians as you're very good at manipulating things to suit your way of thinking.... We played in black in the cup final.... Really.... that's the best you could come up with.... Do you think we chose to do that then or do you think it was on the toss of a coin and we would actually have preferred to have played in our traditional Blue.....

We played in black in the semi final against Barnsley as well, but as Barnsley play in red, I believe that we chose to play in black! :idea: :ayatollah:

Indeed they did, but this was partly down to superstition and partly down to practicality as Barnsley also wore white shorts.... nothing to do with wanting to do away with the traditional blue....

So did anybody think that we'd sold our souls at Wembley in 2008 then, because I don't think so? :ayatollah:

Nope.... Because we knew damn well that come the following season we'd be playing in Blue, have a Bluebird on our badge and still be called 'The Bluebirds'..... are you getting the general theme there..... :lol:

Nope, because we'll still be playing in blue, albeit away from home, we'll still be known as Cardiff City The Bluebirds and there'll still be a Bluebird on the badge! :D :ayatollah:

And you can categorically confirm this can you, because the last I heard was that we were to become known as the Red Dragons, and the TINY bluebird that will be placed on the badge is some weak arse attempt to placate anyone opposed to these changes....

Well, all I can say is that if you think this will be the last of the changes then more fool you, because in a season or two I can very easily see a complete name change and rebranding... and before anyone comes on here spouting 'they can't do it after Wimbledon'.... rubbish... money talks, especially when it comes to the FA.... so I honestly believe if you tolerate this, then your children will be next.... sorry.... got carried away there.... but the club name definitely will be next!!!!!.... :cry:

Of course I can't categorically confirm it, but that information which will supposedly become common knowledge tomorrow, is what most itk people on here are saying!

So can you categorically confirm that these more radical changes will definitely be coming in next, or are you just scaremongering, like many posters on both sides of the fence, have already ?

I liked the Manics input btw, but I'll have to be honest here, as you said your children will be next, my 17 year old son, wants us to go totally red! :oops: :) :ayatollah:

Three more relevant words would be "we don't know".

We actually didn't have a badge in 1927 ! We were using the city of cardiff's Coat of arms.

Very true. In the event of no announcement we must believe the Malaysian statement that we will be playing in blue. Anything else is speculation. :ayatollah:
